"So, the first five people who respond to this post will get a batch of cookies made by me and brought (or sent) to their house sometime in 2009... as long as they repost this in their journal.

"Those of you who don't bake could still participate by promising on your journal to order cookies online or ship a box of Milanos or something.

"Because the world needs more cookies."

One note, they may be bought cookies, but if they are, they'll be fancy ones....

What an amazing day.

Hi all,

I received a really nice container of organic lemon body lotion off of my Amazon wish list.  However, I have no idea who sent it. Please let me know if you did so I can say thank you :).

Thanks for all of the name suggestions. Doron is one I really like.  We have a friend with that name unfortunately. Still stuck, but as we have a 9 day count down we're getting there.

Oops, December 29th.

Taking all serious suggestions for names.  We're stuck.  Mer any good suggestions?

And many long-term friend kudos to A2MacGeek who offered to come over this weekend and help me sort laundry.  Too many weekends of us feeling completely overwhelmed and crying.  Also she brought Danno yummy coffee for his 40th.

Wish I were in Portland.

Hello all to my west coast friends.  I'm going to Seattle for a business trip and wanted to let you know when I'll be available.  Would love to see you all.

On Monday June 16th, I'll be free from 12-5 and after 8.
On Tuesday June 17th, I'll be free after 7:30.
On Wednesday June 18th, I'll be free 12:30 - 4 (flights at 6:15).

Let me know if you want to get together.

It would be great to see folks, as I miss you all.  I'll be in downtown Seattle.

From elisem, mistress of all things fantastical and shiny: 

/'So here's the problem: yesterday I heard somebody say, "Fourth Street Fantasy Convention? Oh, yeah, I heard something about... oh, wait, isn't that convention invitational?" Which, you know, it is so very not. Although it's been a little quiet on the publicity end, this revival of the legendary Minneapolis-based fantasy convention of decades back is cheerfully open to everybody who wants to get a membership, and I hope lots of people do, because I'm throwing this big party on Friday night, and Bear and Sarah and some other folks are going to read necklace challenge stories and other Artists' Challenge works, and the more people who are there, the better it'll be.

So here's the offer: if you publicise the convention in your LJ or anywhere else on-line, and link to the Fourth Street website or to my post about my party, and you send me a link (or post it here), I will put you in a drawing for a $50 gift certificate, to be drawn during the convention. Winner need not be present*. If you like, you can go ahead and tell people you're posting this because I am bribing you with this because I want lots of people at my party to celebrate and to hear Bear and Sarah and everybody read cool challenge stuff... and tell them that if they put up the link too, I will bribe them with a similar chance./'

Happy Birthday fairmer
